Abstract
A 59-year-old man, who had been admitted to another clinic with complaints of dyspnea and jaundice, was transferred to our department for further examination. On admission, abdominal pain, cough, weight loss, and hepatomegaly were also noticed. Thorax computerized tomography imaging was highly suggestive for lymphangitic carcinomatosis. The case had a pancreas tumor in the abdominal slices. He died within a month due to progressive respiratory failure. In conclusion, lymphangitic carcinomatosis should be kept in mind in the patients with tumor who had unexplained progressive respiratory failure.
